Lakeland Regional Health, which accepts both Medicare and Medicaid payments, employs more than 5,400 full-time and part-time team members, according to its website.įor now, Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center and its affiliated facilities will continue with hygiene protocols, requiring masks and social distancing while encouraging vaccinations and answering questions to address COVID concerns, Haight said. Earlier last month, a national executive order was issued requiring nursing home workers be vaccinated. The health facilities order covers doctors, nurses and assistants, therapists, food workers, cleaning crews, technology and office workers, contracted workers and more at hospitals, surgery and dialysis centers and home health agencies. Polk County, like the rest of the state and the country, has been seeing a trend of more vaccinations during this latest wave of infections, spurred by the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus, Haight said.īiden’s executive order was intended to boost vaccination rates not only in the health industry, affecting some 17 million workers nationwide, but also across the board by mandating all companies with more than 100 employees require vaccinations, affecting more than 80 million workers. For Polk County, 54% of eligible residents are fully vaccinated. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nationwide 64.1% of eligible residents are fully vaccinated. If Lakeland Regional’s vaccination rate is similar to Tampa General’s, it already is considerably higher than that of the general population.

A spokesperson at Tampa General Hospital, which like Lakeland Regional has been encouraging vaccination among its workforce since the vaccine rollout, said that 72% of its workforce is fully vaccinated and 74% has received at least one dose.
